Kalimba — Tu Corazón Lo Sabe

Through the exacting and normalizing disciplines of diet, make-up, and dress–central organizing principles of time and space in the days of many women–we are rendered less socially oriented and more centripetally focused on self-modification. Through these disciplines, we continue to memorize on our bodies the feel and conviction of lack, insufficiency, of never being good enough. At the farthest extremes, the practices of femininity may lead us to utter demoralization, debilitation, and death. (p. 14)

I am looking forward to the rest of the text.

Blast from the Past Bonus: It was 1993 and I was totally listening to these guys while painting my nails black and dying my hair pink:

I believe tonight The Partner and I will be heading over to Ms Lauren’s — I correct myself, Ms Lauren and Chef’s for some wine and an episode or two of The Sopranos because we’re all fiends and must have our fix of modern-day-gangster violence. Saturday we’ll be visiting The Partner’s parents and going to a water park in the early evening. There will be some in our party who will attempt to smuggle in liquor, but I’m not naming names, so it should prove very interesting. An intoxicated Anne with fireworks is one thing; an intoxicated Anne with huge water slides is another. Then we’ll be waking up early and driving back to town Sunday to meet up with friends for our Obligatory Sunday Breakfast, Library, and Recycling Center Jamboree. And Monday? Monday is The Partner’s birthday, but as of this writing I’m not sure if I’m going to allow him to celebrate it as he’s been pissing me off lately. And is that any way to act when your birthday is approaching and you want your partner to help you cut off all your hair? As I’ll be the one wielding the scissors, I think not.

Expect the lack of posting to continue until at least that time.
